Standard Practice for
Determining Volatile and Nonvolatile Content of Cellulosics,
Emulsions, Resin Solutions, Shellac, and Varnishes1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4209; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of the last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of the last reapproval. A
a superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice is intended to serve as a guide to the
selection of the proper ASTM test method for determining the
volatile and nonvolatile content of cellulosic, emulsions, resin
solutions, shellac, and varnishes.
NOTE 1—Standards for determining the composition of the volatile
fraction are not covered by this practice.
